I wish he favored single-payer universal health care.
I wish he favored complete withdrawal from Iraq.
I wish he had filibustered telecom immunity.
Then there are my seriously liberal views, like legalizing drugs and making college free for all citizens, but I’m not holding my breath.
In this rainbow-soaked utopia, would your universal healthcare thingy pay for the treatment of terminal lung cancer brought on by smoking?
Serious question.
First let me ask that you describe yourself as a Liberal -— big L not little l.... nxt, as far as single-payer universal health care is concerned.... you already have it and have had it in its current organized form since about the mid-1920’s it is called your local Health Department and AHEC’s... today, the scope of services available vary widely primarily dependent on what you VOTE ON LOCALLY!!!!
Anywho, I digress what is terribly amiss with your logic is that in some dream world, you truly believe that government can do it better and for more people.... then let me ask you this, if that is truly the case, then why over thousands of years of history has that NOT BEEN the case???? Tell me, show me, where has it worked???
Explain how college can be free for all citizens. Someone has to pay for it. Who do you think that will be? The govrnment=taxpayers. Which means we all pay for it. Ergo it's not free.
Atlas is about to shrug. Good luck getting all that "free" stuff when the producers stop paying for it.

At the same time, I think the best way to get people off of welfare is to educate them so that they can get better jobs. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
That has to be a very silly point of view. For someone who has been on welfare for years and years, and you expect them to get a JOB?

we voted AGAINST McCain, by which most us mean Bush.
Your problem is that you believed everything the drive by media spewed about the current administration. I hope (but it is not going to happen) that the DBM will blame BO for everything that happens during the next four years.
Yes, they are different, but frankly, Obama’s stated positions aren’t too different from theirs, either.
Apparently, you did not vote on issues, but on emotions. BDS to make it short and to the point.

If you think health care is expensive now, just wait until it's free.
I wish he favored complete withdrawal from Iraq.
I guess you are in favor of having our cities and citizens blown up here.

Nothing is free. Get a job and pay for things yourself. I’ve worked for almost 40 years, put a daughter through college, paid my mortgage, paid my own and family’s health insurance, put away money for retirement – which BO wants to take away now – plus other Constitutional rights.
I just have to ask. Nothing is free. Who is going to pay for that free stuff?
